Lacey8724 38 Posted June 14, 2012 I live in San Antonio and am getting bannded a the end of the month! At the nix also! People can be mean, and there are people in my family that dont agree with what I'm doing, they think it's the "easy" way out. You can email me if you want, I can't really help you with the band part yet, but I can be an understanding person that know what you are going through (or will soon). My email is laceyismynameo@gmail.com 1 GeekJen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadyBC 22 Posted July 1, 2012 I'm in Hutto (NE of Austin). I work in Austin and travel to other locations as well. I'm getting banded on 7/10 at south Austin medical center. St David's. I could totally use a mentor/buddies. At least to chat. I'm starting to get nervous! Really nervous! Wondering if I'm doing the right thing!!! I've wanted this for 4 years but never wanted to finance....now I have awesome insurance that covers it %100. I've been jumping all the hoops my insurance required of me since 12/11. Now it's only a few days away and I'm excited but totally freaking out! For so many reasons. I'm saying goodbye to all my guilty pleasures......donuts, Pasta, breadsticks, etc etc etc all the stuff that got me fat!!! Anyway, would love to chat it up with some of y'all! I can be emailed at amyjbchampoux@gmail.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kvr1977 28 Posted August 17, 2012 Hello, I'm am in San Antonio, TX. I have one appt left before re-submitting to insurance. I'm nervous and have almost backed out twice.

I will be having surgery at Northeast Baptist by Dr. Wright. -Kelly 1 GeekJen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
